I am Andy and I am writing a report for KhaoZ Media. I’m working with them to learn different skills about audio, video and other things. It’s held every Thursday evening, 5 till 8 and it’s based at the York library.
It’s open in general for everyone who is interested in this kind of thing. They teach people skills in radio, video, photography and other media for anyone who wants to learn. They are open to people with learning difficulties, giving them the knowledge and training in these things.
I came to Khaoz and told them my goals; I wanted to improve my typing, spelling and learn about photography and write a blog. In my first session, I was paired with one of the volunteers, Jonathan, who knows about photography. I took pictures in the Museum Gardens and I was shown how to take good pictures. We changed the images and the colours on the computer.
This evening, everyone was doing interesting and different things. Tonight, Kirsty organised the roles and made sure everyone had something to do. Later on, Rory and Dylan edited audio files for an internet radio show which is coming soon. Dan and Jon were editing video of a taster session that Khaoz did at the Blueberry Academy in Clifton Moor. Meanwhile, others were working on a script for the radio show.
It’s been a busy night with lots of people doing many different jobs.
